Subject: 2024 predictions

Written By: batfan2005 on 05/13/22 at 1:23 pm

There's a thread for 2023 and 2025, but not sure about 2024. Believe or not it's only about a year and a half away. Here are my predictions:

- The Summer Olympics will be held in Paris on schedule. I don't forsee the pandemic delaying it like the 2020 one

- The COVID-19 virus will still be around in some form, but in endemic status and will be barely mentioned

- The economy will be in a recession, from 2023 if not late 2022

- It will be a presidential election year, so it will be brutal on social media and interpersonally. It won't be Trump or Biden running, so we'll be seeing fresh new faces. Probably Ron DeSantis will be the GOP nominee. It will be the first Gen X president even though Barack Obama was close (late Boomer).

- It will be a good year for music, like 2020. A lot of new artists with creativity to make fun and upbeat dance music. Late 2000's nostalgia will be in effect, with the likes of early Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.

I know when the pandemic started 2 years ago we were wearing the masks but now 2 years later we're still wearing them but just on occasions, it's making the world look like fools and sheep.

Where I live, in some areas we have to wear the masks and on public transportation.

Even though, the figures for covid are going down the virus is still out there, and when standing close next to a stranger, to be safe what do you do?

I do what I can as to wear masks on public transportation when going to work and heading home.

Do you wear a mask when inside your store at work?

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.

I never do ever since it has not become mandatory. It's still technically mandatory on transit but I never follow that rule since it's relaxed and many others don't as well.

Over here in New York, it's not really mandatory but people will wear it once in a while.

Ariana Grande will be starring in Wicked, the film adaptation of the popular Broadway musical, opening on Christmas Day 2024. I predict that during the mid-2020's her acting career will become as big as her singing career.

In the GOP primaries it's predicted to be a battle between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis for the nominee.

Maybe, maybe not. It isn't a foregone conclusion just yet.

I predict that it will be Biden vs. DeSantis in the election. I think Biden will win re-election but it will be more narrow than 2020 as some of the states that Biden won then will go to DeSantis, including Georgia.

I predict Trump will wind up heading to jail.
